<P>
Two higher-level routines that use the Render module&#39;s clipping
capability are listed here.
These routines do not themselves clip an Object to a plane or to a box,
but rather construct an Object (Clipped Object) that describes to
the renderer what clipping is to be done.
(The renderer does not support nested clipping, and all
translucent objects in a scene must be clipped by the same clipping
Object.)
